A ‘W’ would mean the world to the Texans

Under different circumstances, the Texans’ 11-season losing streak in Indianapolis might be attracting more attention, but the current 11-game losing streak has trumped it. The players seem to agree a win in any stadium right now would take the weight off.

“We’ve got two wins all season, so I don’t think it really matters,” cornerback Kareem Jackson said. “A ‘W,’ if we can get it anywhere, if we play in a parking lot, just get a win. I don’t care if we play them at the Galleria mall. We just want to win.”

Receiver Andre Johnson, who has been around for all but the first Texans loss at Indianapolis, offered no explanation for the long dry spell, saying, “I have no answer for that other than we just haven’t.” Johnson, however, discounted a suggestion that Lucas Oil Stadium is an unusually difficult place to play.

“I think it was tougher to play in the old RCA Dome,” he said. “I don’t think it’s as loud up there as it used to be.”
